Started Squid Game on Netflix..heard rave reviews and found the first couple of episodes to be quite interesting

I have only watched one Korean show in my life..  That was Netflix's zombie thriller Kingdom which was impressive. 

Squid game has great reviews as well.

What’s it about?

K Drama but not conventional. Its like Hunger Games with ordinary people set in the present world.

 

Just seen 3 episodes so far though, hour long episodes so does take a bit of time but well worth it so far

Finished it last night. Yup its a winner, fine fine show with brilliant character arcs. Only letdown was some over the top acting as is usual with Korean movies/shows

 

Hope Netflix dont try to milk it with a second season though.

Have you guys seen the Raid movies? Martial arts at its best

Watch Triple threat as well...  Tony Jaa & Iko Uwais together.  Just like Raid another one directed by a Hollywood action direction. 

 

Raid Redemption is finest Martial Arts action movie in modern times though.

All good. Also to add to the above recommended a couple of other films with Iko Uwais:

 

The night comes for us

Headshot

 

Also The Villainess is worth checking out.

Yeah I've seen The Night comes for us on Netflix..  Very Gore &,  bloody.  

Will checkout Headshot

 

Uwais is also in a Hollywood action thriller with Mark Whalberg in Mile 22.   Ronda Rousey is in there as well.  Average reviews but worth watching as it is quite engaging.

Best part was Paxtani was duped like nz did to pcb. That was the take away from the show for me.

Yes all the part Iko Uwais is great action hero.

Posted

Also would recommend The man from Nowhere and Chocolate for marital arts movies. 

 

The former was remade in hindi as rocky handsome but was missing the great action, acting and the screen presence of the hero. 

 

John Abraham is so wooden

Yeah his role was played by an Indian dude..  Even when main lead asks Where he is from he said he is from Pakistan & then he said Where is that???  Lmao:hysterical:..  Other gu says it's in north of India.

I watched their romantic shows as well. Most of them have same pattern but still it's a good time pass they are like daily soap kind but only thing good is they dont show same scene again and again. So if i dont get any exciting thing to watch my fall back is alway k-romantic dramas. I watched----Crash Landing on you, I am not robot, It's ok to not be ok , recently started watching home town cha cha cha. I have also watched Kingdom and Squid game they were also fantastic.

Yeah they certainly are better than Indian soaps but episode length is very long for my taste.  Squid Game & Kingdom were Netflix original & 50 min long per episode easier to binge. 

If you have watched both seasons of Kingdom then I suggest also watch its prequel movie released few months ago "Ashin of the north"..  This series/Franchise is very dope.  Also tells us how Indian cinema has fallen behind.  Our soft power in Asia is slowly replaced by K pop & eventually K dramas/movies.  Bollywood is on ventilator in my view. 

 

Also Alice in the borderland on Netflix is a better version of Squid game...  A Japanese manga adaptation.  You won't regret it.  In my view its better than sqid game.

Yes you are right, they sure are too long . I have watched Ashin of the north that was a really nice movie and i have yet to watch Alice in the borderland i sure will give it a try. Thanks.
